Hi guys,
And here I come with the MP 72 marker evidence! This looks like something that was installed in the Conrail era...I'm not sure what the LHR style mileposts looked like, but this looks like CR / modern style. Link is below:

For the approximate location of this milepost, please see the ZTS diagram below:

Those gondolas at Belvidere were Conrail MOW gondolas, used for removal of track back when they were taking track out of the area. Looks like they may have been used for a kind of "rebuilding", before that track was taken out of service to the gas company over there. I did a trace on them, and back then, they came up as missing or "out of area", or "unknown location" or something of that sort...the numbers on the cars are still CR xxx xxx. They must have shoved them in there, and then never got around to pulling them out. They could go get them if they really wanted them, if anyone knows where they are...but I see no reason why they should care about a couple of old junko-gondolas that might not make it out if they tried to pull them anyway...
Those gondolas are located on track 273 on the ZTS map...
